Summary of change:
New project for customer was started and we would like to order Vems, but we are not sure about some outputs. Engine is BMW e46 inline 6 cylinder DOHC m54b30, 330i, Naturally aspirated with Dual Vanos head //Tomas Inputs which we need: - Trigger1 = Hall 1x - Trigger2 = Hall 1x - Trigger3 = Hall 1x (for second cam because of Dual Vanos) - MAT 1x - CLT 1x - TPS 1x - WBO2 1x - Knock 2x - MAP = in ECU 115kPa 1x Outputs which we need: - 8x IGBT (only 6 in use for ign.) - 6x High-Z outputs for injectors (injector's impedance is 14-16 ohm) - Idle stepper motor (3 wires), '''Bosch 3 wire PWM''' (Which output is best, INJ???) //Tomas - fuel pump output - tachometer output (RPM) - and THE BIGGEST PROBLEM Dual Vanos solenoids outputs * '''VANOS is PWM type single solnoid per valve NFET controlled''' On engine there are 2 solenoids (1 for each cam) when solenoid is without current, spring hold it and one way for oil to vanos is open. If solenoids are with current, another way for oil is opened and Vanos valve move to another position. Solenoids are command with PWM. Function scheme of system is shown at this link: http://s229.photobucket.com/user/megarath2000/media/BMW/Vanosexploded.jpg.html We need to know which ECU output can drive the Vanos solenoids. Somewhere in wiki i read that we need lowZ injector outputs and also remove the flyback diode from solenoids, but we are not sure. If yes, how we can combine the lowZ outputs and HighZ injectors? * '''Any free injector, ignition or stepper output can drive the VANOS solenoids; my recommendation would be to use the 2 free ignition outputs.''' * m54b30 VANOS solenoids do not have internal flyback diodes, no need to remove. ---- * '''I do believe the M54 VANOS is not PWM controlled, they are Frequency modulated at around ~200Hz acordning to BMW documentation.''' * '''I have tried to run them on all possible Hz and duty controlled, in VEMS but they do not respond. At a sertain DC (Around 75%) they just travel to end position.''' * ''' I have tried with both Injector fet and IGBT, they respond the same way. Have anyone run these with good result? Please tell me how!''' ** I am running a m54b25 using the same solenoids and control type, both working axis without problems, configured as follows: ** NFET controlled, INJ FET or IGBT will work, with flyback diode 1n4007 over valve (from rescuekit) ** Control type: NON-PID ** Output type: Single PWM ** Near pwm range: 8 deg ** PWM period: 375 Hz * '''Ok, will try it again with the flyback diode. Anod/catode which way?''' *** diode stripe towards 12v+ * '''Also the biggest problem is not the Vanos, its the CANbus controlled dash and Electronic trottle. /Thorbjörn Engdahl''' ** The m54 electronic throttle is not CAN controlled * '''No not the ETC, but the instruments are, and also the fan on my Automatic is PWM type, and VEMS does not support this yet :(''' ** What part of the dash is currently not functioning in the absence of CAN data from management ? ** PWM FAN: currenlty not supported true, we are working on implementing this, do you happen to have data on which PWM percentages / frequency the stock fan module needs ? ------- On our Vanos solenoid valves is written this: Mannesmann Rexroth 075 086,11.36.1?32.532 maybe 11.36.1432.532, they looks like this one: http://c1552172.r72.cf0.rackcdn.com/246493_x600.jpg Can you please tell me which type it is? It is PWM controlled and can be driven with IGN outputs or is it type with flyback diode with PID and must be driven with ETC bridgeoutput??? //Tomas (I am the founder of this document, please when you edit this document, write your name in comment //. Thanks, Tomas.) ** M54 solenoid, can be driven by INJ or IGN output, requires application of external flyback diode over valve (diode stripe towards +12v); Is PWM NFET controlled (no ETC bridge or PFET required) - VEMS Dave Thanks very much Dave! What about Idle actuator? If it is 3-wire, it is PWM solenoid and can be driven with 2 free INJ outputs? //Tomas. ** BMW 3 wire IAC yes can be driver from 2 INJ or IGN outputs make sure to apply local 2 flyback diodes (same type as for cam control solenoids, diodes stripe towards +12v) - VEMS Dave
